Teaching the Truth about Coal

As I was searching for ideas on how to incorporate all that I learned this summer into lessons for my classes, I ran across this article from the Washington Post.

It is about a teacher in Coeburn, VA who has written and used lessons promoting the opportunities that coal mining provides to rural areas.  I found it quite interesting!!
